i dont thing he uses it anyways better make it than ask him for a sticky.Between someone named dishtv asking for dishtv sticky made me lol.

Is it fine to change the plan middle of the month. I had shifted from 849NU TO 599 unlimited,but finding it too slow so I have decided to revert back to 849NU. I am doubtful if I change now,mtnl might screw up this month's bill by considering the 599 unlimited usage into 849 day usage,which could run upto 20k.My account is on alcatel server (@a user)
Beside If I change the plan,how long do they usually take to change downstream back to 2048. It took them a month to reduce downstream from 2048 to 510 when I had shifted to 599 unlimited:rolleyes:

Real diwali gift from dishtv. Best new connection offer amongst all Dth.

Less disconnections and better line quality would be good enough

An android mobile with Dual Sim and 3g might cost a lot.

At the moment the choice of 3g DUAL SIM mobile is quite limited.Problem is independent reviews of B7722 by actual users are not many on the internet.
If at all there are reviews of B7722 then they are just copy/paste of each other.So we dont know how this mobile actually performs.

Thanks a bunch for your replies buddies. So if I summarize both of your opinions and If I am understanding it correctly:

I have three options, either use software like Skype or gtalk OR use VOIP Adapter OR IP Phones.

If I selects Skype, I would have to purchase the plan but I suspect if I could do the conference with skype. I think, I would need headphone and mic to communicate and only one person can talk using it. So conference is not possible. No? Sorry for my limited knowledge, but conferencing is one of imp. thing for me, as I used to put speaker phone on of my mobile so that my fam. here and my brothers' fam. there can communicate.

If I select VOIP Adapter, I would have to pay approx. 30$ monthly. I would either get the Adapter (Vonage, Ooma or Phonepower) from US OR purchase it here (Linksys).

So if I purchase it from US,
1. What is the cost of instrument/adapter? or is it just pay for service and no cost for instrument?
2. Will it be compatible in India? I mean power voltage required, plug design etc.
3. I have used a Dlink Ethernet Switch between by computer and modem so as to split and get internet on two machine at a time. Something like LAN. In this case, plugging the adapter in switch will work? or I have to plug it in modem only and then can't use PC Simultaneously?
4. What about the phone number? Does these people provide me a number as well on which my brother would call?
5. If I will be paying $30 monthly say for example, still, my brother would have to pay his regular charges if he calls me on this? Like, he will be paying as well as I will be paying for that communication?

And If I purchase Linksys here in India (As of now I can't see anyone coming from US for me to bring it from US and I dont think, Vonage, Ooma or these guys deliver it in Pune So keeping this option also open)
1. I will be purchasing it for 50$. Then how call charges will be worked out? Like If I call using this, how much would I be paying per min and to whom?
2. I have used a Dlink Ethernet Switch between by computer and modem so as to split and get internet on two machine at a time. Something like LAN. In this case, plugging the adapter in switch will work? or I have to plug it in modem only and then can't use PC Simultaneously?
3. What about the phone number? If I use linksys, who would give me phone number on which my brother would be calling?

If I select IP Phone,
1. What are IP Phones? and Where can I get them?
2. Dont know how it works so might need a better insight from you guys on this option like where to get, how to use, advt. or disadvt. etc.

BTW, almon your trick is very good. Free yet fine. In fact, I used to chat only but I started hating typing and finds much easier to talk. Spending hours on typing than finishing in hour by talking is I feel good and hence is this post. If you see how long I have typed this post, it proves how badly I need this VOIP thing. haha.. :grin:

Plus you get your dear ones to hear and its always not possible for people to make available on skype and yet you want to communicate so calling is only option left. :(

I am so sorry again for such huge huge analysis and questions.. Please take me out of my misery..
